[QUOTE="plbcattle, post: 308529, member: 171"] I pay $1000 per weaned calf. They have to ratio high and be acceptable to me or I don't own them. This is so they make sure to take care of the calf and not just let them fend for themselves. That covers all cost and I just have to pick up the calf at weaning. With the influx of ET calf raisers, there has been a rash of bad reviews of people signing up to get this higher $ for the calves and not take care of them. If you are putting your best genetics in a cow, she is as important as the genetics the egg came from, she needs to raise a good calf. I also am buying the preg recip from another program for $1300. This way you only get preg recips that are 90-120 preg. The absorption rate should be close to 0 at that stage of preg. Just some suggestions. also we pay on 1/3's. 1/3 at 90-120 days bred, 1/3 at calving, and 1/3 at pick up time. there is no need to pay for 1/3 at implant time because you could get 40-75% conception rate. You should only pay for calves that are weaned. Also some people turn the calves back to the owner, there has to be some sort of understanding that if you are putting in eggs out of matings that produce huge ww and you pick up some 350-450 lb calves, you might have a problem.
